If beginning and ending work in process inventories are $5,000 and $15,000, respectively, and cost of goods manufactured is $170,000, what is the total manufacturing cost for the period?

$180,000

Explanation:

Cost of Goods Manufactured = Total Manufacturing Costs + Beginning Work in Process Inventory - Ending Work in Process Inventory                                                                                                                        

$170,000 = [Total Manufacturing Costs + $5,000 - $15,000]

$170,000 = [Total Manufacturing Costs - $10,000]

[$170,000 + $10,000] = Total Manufacturing Costs

Total Manufacturing Costs =$180,000

a recipe serves 8 people, and calls for 5 lbs of apples and 2 cups of flour. you want to prepare it for 24 people. divide 24 by 8 to get 3, and then multiply your ingredients by 3.

so for 24 people, you'll need 15 lbs of apples, and 6 cups of flour.
